In 2005, the Nevada State Nursing Board has permitted registered nurses to delegate additional aspects of diabetes care to other non-medical school officials. These nurses are trained to administer glucose in an emergency situation.
INTERVENTION: Although this is good news when acting in an emergency, preventing this emergency from every happening is even better. Encouraging school officials to use the schools gym or fitness center before or after the school day, providing healthy lunch options, or advising teachers to stand and walk around the room while teaching are all good ways to prevent the onset of diabetes.
Most states also have mandated coverage for diabetes care. This helps lower income families to attain the health supplies they need.
